Aldi confirms discontinued popular fan favorite as customers beg for it to come back
SHOPPERS were begging Aldi to bring back a popular fish product as fans noticed it was off the shelves.
The discount retailer sold the parmesan-encrusted tilapia from Fremont Fish Market, featuring boneless fish filets.
Each 16-ounce packet came frozen and with only 270 calories per serving.
Customers loved the ease and convenience of the product as it was able to be fried, pan-seared, or thrown in an air fryer.
One shopper took to Twitter writing to Aldi: “@AldiUSA plz bring back your Parmesan crusted tilapia.”
The retailer gave the shopper some hope commenting back: “We'll let our buyers know right away that you miss it!”

While it’s unclear if Aldi has plans to bring it back, The U.S. Sun reached out to the retailer for comment.
OTHER FISH OPTIONS
While the parmesan-encrusted tilapia may be long gone, Aldi has other options.
The Fremont Fish Market is selling Tilapia Fillets that are skinless, boneless, all-natural, and individually wrapped.
Since the filets come plain, customers can add their own parmesan crust or try other crusts like pistachio or almond.
